Henderson's Wfjadfmill],, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horso PE R T 0 B E„ Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, andl Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple browm Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, ici 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his daß% Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (iimported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr»s jiusiported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victoria Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47• Panio was imported from England to Tasmania* and put. to the stud at 3 yrs. old. Ho -was trained, and raced at 4, and again put to the stud.. When he was 6 yrs. old, ho was purchased# at a high price and imported to Victoria* where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the beat English horse ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; he was both speedy and staying, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorao Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the studio although from being in an place, he has not been favored by many? first-class mares, he has got more winners# out of half-bred ones than any horso in Vio-. toria, and for general purposes his stock much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is combination of some excellent strains ofi blood, such as the Waxy-Whalobone ft im that famous line through Defence, aaut. which comes to him on the sides of sire and dam. On his sire P&nio'a ar'ao there is, as well as his good Defonca blr, o d, that of the game and stout Venison., tho powerful and speedy Melbourne* aiud., most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "Tho value of the Pantaloon blood ia ur.deniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alono as to its being spo&dy and staying, but also to its ' training on,' and being essentially a ' running stjwn j' for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-olass animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as'to' numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus Writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. . On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good Wood coming in through The Premier, whose graridsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tho. dam of the mare . Beeswing, celebrated I not only as a first-class racer, buti also as the maternal ancestress of England's* very best family of racehorses at the present,; time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delaprdi blood is also very good indeed. DelapriS'sj dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam off the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First Mrs.. Roberts, the great grand-dam of wa3 by Wanderer, and Wandesei's blood ia good, he being by Wanderby Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. Jn Tasmania, ao much is the Wanderev blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Waaderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.
